Heartsong Arts Academy Challenge 3

Here is my Challenge for this week, details can be found here http://melitasmixedmedia.com/2013/07/14/heartsong-arts-academy-challenge-3/ It looked much better on my desk, just shows the heat is really getting to me. My first music love like many of my generation was Donny Osmond, and my fave song back then was of course 'Puppy Love' what else? so I added my latest Puppy Dog, Custer to the page.I also did another face this week, tried some underpainting first

Not done much else this week, its just too hot now in my art room, I dont have a thermometre in there but as its now 80 degree's in my bedroom it will be the same if not hotter in there. Not the best of days today either, arrived home about 2pm to find the courier had delivered my new brake pads which was great, BUT the idiot had shut the faulty porch door with no handle and locked me out of the house - my neighbour who had the other half of the door handle was out, so I had to phone the husband to come home from work to break in, while he was on his way home the neighbour returned and got me in. Not the best of days to be shut outside in the searing heat.I'm told we have another week of this weather, counting the days and hoping it will break then, sorry to those who enjoy it but I have had enough now of miserable hot dogs, early mornings and no sleep - not to mention no art which is the worst part.Oh, nearly forgot............ I finished off the above face with my oil pastels though, just...

My new Art Deco paints have arrived, but its been too hot for me to finish off the piece I started with them, once I can get in the hot room again I will do so.Stay Cool!!

About Me

I'm Lynda, I am a mixed media artist living in the UK. I have been teaching myself art since October 2011 when I found this to be a possible thing, I always thought artists were 'born' with the talent. I do have a craft shop on Etsy to try to fund my art practice as supplies do not come cheap, there is a little window here on my blog to show you my shop.

There are so many wonderful art teachers on-line, I often mention the great courses I am on, and show the work I am doing - hopefully as I improve I will encourage others to try their hand at art as art is such a release from many things out in the real world, that can often be quite an ugly place. It is my first ambition to have at least one piece of art exhibited in my local group at their annual event, I know I will be good enough one year.......and as of 2016 to become a portrait artist.

I am now in my 50th year. I live with my husband and currently three rescue dogs (and many remain in our hearts).
